and using an iPhone, the screen would be simply too small

it would be great to also use this on site where a laptop would not be a very good option. it would be very useful for real estate agents where they can show the clients the floor plan or quickly show them how the place will look like with different furnishing

there are just so much possibility as a sales presentation device.... I don't see any PC based tablet PC being so intuitive and easy/quick to use for all those basic functions.

but for personal use... I don't think I need to use it at all

but for $499.... i don't think its a big of a deal. I was expecting that this will sell for a minimum of $1099. From using it from a business point of view, even if it was sold for $1500 it would still be a great device and a bargain at $499.
I have a 12" HP laptop that doubles as a touch-screen tablet. It cost $800 new 2 years ago and has more ram and processing speed than the iPad.

It will do exactly what you want. HP doesn't sell it anymore. Why? Cause the market is too small for such a niche device.

The market you describe is small, and Apple is not targeting niche markets.
